Assessing segmental versus non-segmental features in the ventral nervous system of onychophorans (velvet worms)
(2017-01-03)
Background:
Due to their phylogenetic position as one of the closest arthropod relatives, studies of the organisation of the nervous system in onychophorans play a key role for understanding the evolution of body segmentation in arthropods. Previous studies revealed that, in contrast to the arthropods, segmentally repeated ganglia are not present within the onychophoran ventral nerve cords, suggesting that segmentation is either reduced or might be incomplete in the onychophoran ventral nervous system.

Preparation and Molecular Structure of a Cyclopentyl-Substituted Cage Hexasilsesquioxane T6 (T = cyclopentyl-SiO1.5) Starting from the Corresponding Silanetriol
(2017-10-04)
Cyclopentyl substituted silanetriol can be prepared and isolated. Its condensation yields the corresponding disiloxanetetrol as a primary condensation product. Further condensation leads to the hexameric polyhedral silsesquioxane cage T6. The latter has been mentioned in the literature before however, lacking structural data. All compounds have been characterized with multinuclear NMR spectroscopy and, in addition, the molecular structures have been determined in the case of the disiloxanetetrol and the hexasilsesquioxane ...

Beating the limits with initial correlations
(2017-11-28)
Fast and reliable reset of a qubit is a key prerequisite for any quantum technology. For real world open quantum systems undergoing non-Markovian dynamics, reset implies not only purification, but in particular erasure of initial correlations between qubit and environment. Here, we derive optimal reset protocols using a combination of geometric and numerical control theory. For factorizing initial states, we find a lower limit for the entropy reduction of the qubit as well as a speed limit. The time-optimal solution ...

Applicability of ordinal-array-based indicators to strange nonchaotic attractors
(Universität Kassel, 2017-06-12)
Time series are useful for modeling systems behavior, for predicting some events (catastrophes, epidemics, weather, ...) or for classification purposes (pattern recognition, pattern analysis). Among the existing data analysis algorithms, ordinal pattern based algorithms have been shown effective when dealing with simulation data. However, when applied to quasi-periodically forced systems, they fail to detect SNA and tori as regular dynamics. In this work we address this concern by defining ordinal array (OA) based ...

Role of Pseudouridine Formation by Deg1 for Functionality of Two Glutamine Isoacceptor tRNAs
(2017-01-26)
Loss of Deg1/Pus3 and concomitant elimination of pseudouridine in tRNA at positions 38 and 39 (ψ38/39) was shown to specifically impair the function of tRNAGlnUUG under conditions of temperature-induced down-regulation of wobble uridine thiolation in budding yeast and is linked to intellectual disability in humans. To further characterize the differential importance of the frequent ψ38/39 modification for tRNAs in yeast, we analyzed the in vivo function of non-sense suppressor tRNAs SUP4 and sup70-65 in the absence ...

Charakterisierung des lignocellulolytischen Degradationssystems des xylobiontischen Phanerochaete chrysosporium (Basidiomycota)
(2017-05-03)
In der vorliegenden Arbeit wurde das funktionelle lignocellulolytische Proteom von Phanerochaete chrysosporium mittels Massenspektrometrie charakterisiert.
Ziel war es, den Einfluss des natürlichen Substrats Rotbuche (Fagus sylvatica) und Gemeine Fichte (Picea abies) auf die Proteinexpression der Lignocellulose abbauenden Proteine zu vergleichen, das Cellulose-Abbausystem, Hemicellulose-Abbausystem, Lignin-Depolymerisationssystem und Pektin-Degradationssystem zu modifizieren bzw. zu vervollständigen und bezüglich ...

Genital Homologies and Evolution in moth flies (Diptera, Psychodidae, Psychodinae)
(2017-07-10)
Male genitalia are typically the most important morphological character system in zoological taxonomy and morphology-based phylogenetics. However, to establish their utility and significance in both these fields, a thorough and careful homologization is necessary. The present contribution attempts to view the genitalia of Psychodinae (Diptera: Psychodidae) in the light of recent advances in Diptera genital morphology in order to establish a working understanding of these important character systems and their evolutionary ...

Lipid Droplets und assoziierte Proteine im Wachstum und der multizellulären Entwicklung von Dictyostelium discoideum
(2017-12-15)
Zusammenfassung:
Lipid Droplets (LDs) und damit assoziierte Proteine wurden bisher in D. discoideum ausschließlich in dem einzelligen, vegetativen Stadium untersucht. Die Ergebnisse der vorliegenden Arbeit zeigen deren Einfluss auf die multizelluläre Entwicklung. Statt in der Hungerphase einen Vorteil durch gespeicherte Fettreserven zu vermitteln, stirbt ein Großteil der fetten Zellen in der Entwicklung. Im Mischexperiment, in dem unbehandelten Zellen mit LD-tragenden Zellen kompetieren, stellen letztere nur 10 % ...

Epitheliale Krypten - ein potentielles Vomeronasalorgan der Lungenfische (Dipnoi)
(2017-07-12)
Lungenfische (Dipnoi), als phylogenetisch früh aus der Sarcopterygii-Linie hervorgegangene Vertreter einerseits, und als nächste rezente Verwandte der Tetrapoden andererseits, sind von essentieller Bedeutung für die Erforschung und Rekonstruktion der evolutionären Entwicklung olfaktorischer Untersysteme. So wurden im vergangenen Jahrhundert die unterschiedlichsten Strukturen im Geruchssystem der Lungenfische als akzessorische Geruchsorgane interpretiert. Die in diesem Punkt vielversprechendsten Kandidaten wurden in ...
